long driveway shielding the residence from
the view of neighboring homes. The rhythmic
f low of a nearby creek is another barrier against
the intrusion of the outside world. The f inal
jewel in the crown of this spectacular property
is its two homes.
A tranquil courtyard bestows a quiet
mysticism on the main home, an impression
conf irmed by its interior featuring vaulted
skylights and expansive windows that bathe the
core rooms in natural light. Soaring exposed
beam ceilings, polished concrete f loors and a
two-story gallery emphasize the transcendent
effect. Even the kitchen rises above utilitarian.
Here, French doors turn the galley-style space
into a haven, elevated by Wolf and Miele
appliances and a large, eat-in marble center
island. One of the main space's more remarkable
features is its ability to morph from private to
public and back with ease, providing both an
intimate background for everyday living and
an elegant and gracious environment for large-
scale entertaining. Take, as one example, the
industrial-style, sliding wall that separates the
open dining room from the kitchen. Closed, it
capably hides the intricate maneuverings of a
private chef; open, it fosters an easy f low.

Upstairs, the trio of en-suite bedrooms, one with a private deck
overlooking the creek, reinforces the feeling of peace and tranquility
that pervades this home. Certainly it's in the sanctuary of the two-
story master suite. Showcasing hardwood f loors, a private wood deck,
and an expansive dressing room, the space is capped off by an upper-
f loor bathing spa, surrounded by a clever combination of windows and
mirrors that immerse the space in the sights and sounds of the canyon.
Here is where stress evaporates.
The standalone, two-bedroom, three-bath guest house,
meanwhile, with its spacious living room, full kitchen and
wraparound deck, is similarly aware of its magnif icent setting.
Offering guests the holy grail of autonomy, the space grants a
small glimpse into a lifestyle where access and privacy are the
twin pillars of luxury, available to only a privileged few. Call it
divine design. The feeling is heavenly.
